1993年7月20日晨8时许,北京市中级人民法院东中法庭内外,呈现出一片忙碌景象。公务人员忙着整理庭内的陈设,审判人员认真地做着庭审之前的最后准备。今天的官司不同寻常,不仅仅因为被告是堂堂的中央行政管理机关——国家商标局,也不仅仅因为该案争议的起因只是简单的一把“陈年老锁”,更为重要的,乃是被告对法院受理此案的态度,被告曾三番五次“严正声明”:此案你们无权受理!而法院却偏偏受理了。那么今日的开庭,被告会来吗?如果不来,法庭又如之奈何?! At about 8 am on July 20, 1993, the scene of a busy scene was seen inside and outside the court in Beijing East Intermediate People’s Court. Civil servants busy finishing court furnishings, trial staff carefully do the final preparation before the trial. Today’s lawsuit is unusual not only because the accused is the dignified central administrative authority, the State Trademark Office, nor is it merely because the cause of the dispute is merely a simple old age lock, but more importantly Was the defendant’s attitude toward the court accepting the case. The defendant repeatedly stated “solemnly” that you have no right to be heard in the case! However, the court has chosen to accept it. So today’s hearing, the defendant will come? If you do not come, the court is another example ?!
